truckzilla chassis

[savageguy88]

will any long chassis will work for the .46 engine (truckzilla engine) becuase i bought just the .46 engine and i want to know if any long chassis will be perfect for that kind of engine.

I don't see why the New Era Extended TVP's wouldn't work out just fine. They are a little cheeper than the Hot Bodies Conversion kit but I think honestly between the thicker TVP's that they offer and getting a titanium Rear extended dogbone that it is a better option. Of course if you are getting the truckzilla kit all together it's just cheeper to get the kit.

so should i buy the whole kit intead of just the engine .

I doubt any other chassis OTHER than the truckzilla chassis will work with the engine. Because of the size of the engine, part of the engine mount sticks out.

Yes it would be cheaper for you to just get the kit...because you'll still at least need the header for the .46

I thought you have bought it. If not, I believe the engine alone would cost you close to $300. You can find an entire kit without wheels for $230.00 (see meganitro below), why buy just the engine. The kit includes everything you need for the conversion.

Yes if you have a dremel... and do some custom work...

Engine alone WILL NOT cost $300. It's probably in the $150-200 range. You're looking at MSRP

btw, ultimatehobbies.com has the truckzilla with wheels for like $270 or some poop
